Clearly an attempt to lure you in when you're hungry and searching for some common queries like history of famous places.

I’ve assumed it was to create a longer page which can hold more ads.
Recipes by themselves aren’t copyrightable. Bullshit stories are.

Does copyright for a story containing a recipe protect against use of the recipe outside the context of the story?
No, but it stops straight scraping, and requires a scraper to do a little bit more work to copy the recipe.

Not much extra work surely. Most recipes are on sites that use the same template for every recipe so it's pretty easy for a scraper to find the ingredients and method. The structure is usually even labelled with meaningful class names on the elements.
I think the question is “is it possible to split recipe from BS story programmatically”
Generally yes. Most recipe blogs use semantic markup so that Google recognizes it as a recipe, which also makes it easy to scrape programmatically.
